Peanut Cookies

Preheat the oven to 175°C fan (200°C conventional) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Coarsely chop the peanuts.

In a bowl, beat the soft butter, brown sugar, salt and vanilla sugar with a hand mixer until creamy and the sugar has mostly dissolved.

Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.

Whisk together the flour and baking powder and briefly mix into the dough, just until combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts using a spatula or spoon.

Use two teaspoons to place small mounds of dough with some space between them onto the prepared sheets.

Bake the cookies sheet by sheet for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
